Fraz - have you had a wheel alignment yet? I did the same on Frazer years ago in a 80 series land cruiser wagon and discovered that I'd bent both diff housings after getting a wheel alignment. I had sunraisia wheels on it and they bent up like bananas.

The trouble on Frazer if you don't know it is after heaps of rain the creeks gouge out vertical gullies onto the beach. I was also travelling at night with poor visability.

The wheel alignment was done within 30 mins of being back on the mainland. No problems reported, although I noticed in the last few days that the front wheels are now have a slight camber.

I cant remember seeing this before - Is this normal??

I have the Dynamica Rims in a 15x8 from Austyre and I dont like them, for a number of reasons. The bolt holes are too big, and they lose the bead easily.

I personaly wouldnt recommend the wheels, although AusTyre are great.

I think mine are a negative 25 offset although dont quote me on that.

Camber on a beam axled car which has no camber adjustment, isnt ideal no....

Compare it to another car.

Did you get the alignment report? Did they mention any camber issues at the front?

There shouldn't really be any camber at all, perhaps it is an optical illusion.... or a bent housing.

I am hoping it is this illusion you speak of..

I will try to get under it tomorrow and maybe take some photos for you guys too

Something just doesnt look right

I have a set of TX-1 made by performance had them for years aswell as some guys in the outback challange use them without any dramas I paid $135each about 6years ago they are 16x8




And for off road I run a set of pro comp rock crawlers I bought from Pro comp melbourne for $125each and $100 freight but I have managed to bend the rims due to a large washout/bank

87 series 16x8

What is the offset of those? Similar to standard or further out?
